Water unlike gasoline, is a necessity for life. Some folks are out there just getting by and do not consider themselves poor. As a society and community we have an ethical and spiritual obligation to defend and protect those who are less fortunate.
On the other hand, our fair city has many fortunate homeowners who have “won life’s lottery HA!) and they have automatic sprinklers that pee this precious resource daily on their fescue. My neighbor gayly auto-sprinkles his pine straw as well as the street. Triple the price and he would never know it. This is his third house and we never see him. CUT OFF HIS WATER!
That will give people a taste of what is coming to our fair city of ATLANTA; RATIONING.
The Atlanta City Council needs to get somebody at Water Works to turn it off for ONE HOUR NOW. Let everybody, rich & poor appreciate where we are going.
If we triple the cost of water now, it will not impact anybody until DECEMBER and by then, we will stink from no showers. You will be remote officing from Chattanooga and I will camp at my better neighbors house for his well water.
The CITY of Atlanta needs to take some amphetamines and go to work.
The Atlanta situation is starting to remind me of the premise for the musical "Urinetown", where water is so scarce, everyone has to pay to go to the toilet and, if you can't afford it -- well, you're done away with.
